Wages for Art(work)

is a participatory art project by artist and tech worker Quinlan Maggio. During the hours that the artist is working a job, participants are invited to book an hour-long session to ‘work’ alongside them. Participants can use that hour to make art, write, sleep, take a walk—anything that is creatively generative for them. Participants are then compensated for this time at the rate of $40 USD EUR JPY GBP AUD CAD CHF CNY HKD NZD SEK KRW SGD NOK MXN INR RUB ZAR TRY BRL TWD DKK PLN THB IDR HUF CZK ILS CLP PHP AED COP SAR MYR RON EGP NGN PKR IQD QAR KES BDT OMR MAD TND VEF LBP an hour, 50% of Quinlan’s hourly wage.
